Taste the Future Aug. 13

Update: Photos and video from the event!

When the Columbus State Community College Foundation hosts the 25th annual Taste the Future Culinary Showcase and fundraiser this year, six special chefs will be honored. Each of them took part
in the very first Taste the Future in 1989 and each will be recognized as honorary
History Makers.

In all, more than 50 establishments including chefs from catering companies, private
clubs, top restaurants and hotels have signed on for 2013. Their participation makes
Taste the Future the largest and most diverse culinary showcase in central Ohio.

The annual event raises money to support student scholarships and special programs
at the college. Many of the participating restaurants at the event feature graduates
of the Columbus State Chef Apprentice program. Over just the past decade, Taste the
Future has raised more than $1 million in scholarship support.

The culinary showcase also marks the beginning of Columbus State's 50th Anniversary
celebration. Honoring the college's 1963 founding, the anniversary milestone will
include special events and public service projects by college staff and faculty throughout
the academic year.

A complete menu of offerings and individual tickets for $100 each are available online
at www.TasteTheFuture.com. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

Taste the Future will be held Tuesday, Aug. 13, from 5:30 - 9 p.m. on the Columbus
Campus of Columbus State Community College, 550 East Spring Street, Columbus.
